Had the morning start with the dogs being a tad overplayful and snappy with each other, then got a few things handled. Now trying to get my mind wrapped around the geometry of Tesseracts. For some reason I just can't seem to get the proper visual connection of what's going on with it. Maybe a fresh cup of tea will help stir my mind along.

It's always odd when you go through the day managing to keep a sort of upbeat optimism going. When a quiet moment hits in the evening and for no apparent reason, your mood just totally drops way down. Edit: I think I might just put on some Vangelis and bury myself in a book away from the world for the evening.. At least as much as reality allows.

Remember, EMP and Stun Gun is your friend, that and keeping an eye on the water to see where she's running when cloaked... Blow up the computer cores and chunks of the water will also get electrified... Edit: The first time I met that boss, I was chewing the walls in frustration before I got the knack. The second playthrough and she was toast in seconds.

Watching the new season of Mythbusters start up, enjoying some home-grown apples stewed, with sultanas, cinnamon, and dark sugar... Trying to gird myself to clean the kitty litter in a bit.

For those who might not have actually recognised the term it was a "traveller's site" Traveller's is the catch all term over here for the collected "irish (many generations ago) tinkers/gypsy families /thieving, littering gits" who roam around in a pseudo-nomadic lifestyle. Not to stereotype them, I've met some who are perfectly nice folks if you treat them as everybody else and earn their friendship. The trouble is, I've also met plenty of the other sort who set up camp on the common, trash the place, leave shattered beer bottles and such around to injure the locals dogs, steal the milk from your doorstep, act bolshy when you find them trying to get up the sidewalk of your house, and then complain about human rights abuses when the police come to move them on from where they're illegally camped. So, not exactly the "common / normal" of the UK population.

For the background music to encourage thought.. Yuki Kajiura's Aquarian Age - Sign for Evolution soundtrack..

Applying system shock to a Geek's brain...

Arg. Now I'm annoyed. A handful of rpg books were being sold on ebay, so I was all set to snipe in and get them. Set up, just had to flip through tabs and hit confirm bid for each book. And then my frikken system locked up in that last 15 seconds .

Taking the time to have a late lunch. One omelette with mature cheddar and caramalised onions. I have to say , my sister only lines mild cheddar and that stuff takes like so much plastic to me. Go mature with the cheese for actual taste..

Carrying Condoms can be Proof You're a Prostitute.. DC Police Confirm Condoms Used as Evidence of Prostitution Heh, for the weird - Police in DC apparently use the idea that any girl with more then two condoms on her is likely to be a prostitute...

The Missing Link They've added a section on the official site with a video trailer for the upcoming dlc and some general blurb.

Deus Ex : The Icarus Effect - by James Swallows.

Trying to push through the day, but knowing I seriously need to kick my ass into gear. The lack of sleep not helping, but now the curry from last night seems determined to have it's revenge.

For a nice quote from Neil Gaiman....

From what I recall, the book actually makes the three mooks much less two-dimensional and fleshes out that mercenary group.

Urf, had little sleep and what little I had was disturbed by a> the cat deciding to hammer on the door, then b> the alsatian deciding to jump on my bed. Then said puppy has been a complete sod with the devil in him this morning and only just appears to be settling. It makes me really appreciate the mornings I can actually take the time to drink a cup of tea within the first hour I get up rather then be constantly dealing with those mini-crisis moments.

Ordered out for an indian. So waiting for the lamb balti and peshwari to arrive. Having one of those annoying sudden hit of tired and mental daze but keeping myself going forward or at least staggering in a general direction...

Returned to Hensha on my second playthrough..and just realised I missed a couple of those Hugh Darrow ebooks in TYM.. Darn. Ah well, something to keep in mind when I get around to a third one.

No, I've had that a few times but I don't alt-tab. It's not that common, but it happened maybe a dozen times through one playthrough.

You probably have a lot of RAM. Mine were fairly annoying on the PC. Well, 4Gig of Ram. But in-game I don't have any long loading times, if I've been playing for a couple of hours re-loading a saved game might take 20 seconds or so.

Maybe it's just cause I have the pc version, but loading times are never a problem for me.

I kind of see the self-sacrifice one as the most logical for canon... Pushes the mystery aspects, adds to the Bob Paige ending talk of "search the wreckage", and adds the posibility of

It's pretty much the and you'll be done... at least for one playthrough.

Woke up from some semi-odd dreams because a dog jumped onto the bed and landed on my back. Then kind of laid there with the sounds of high winds in the trees and rain on the windows being a tad hypnotic... The rain has now stopped, but the wind is still causing a hellava lot of tree sway and branch/leaf rustle. Trying to keep my brain ticking along and in some form of focus as the day shapes up...

Also, some of the hacks let you hack the registry. If you do, you automatically "win" the hack and pick up all the datastores, even if you haven't captured them yourself.
